String compares compare two string if they are same it will return 1 else return 0. Any one give more explanation.

Returns an integral value indicating the relationship between the strings:

A zero value indicates that both strings are equal.

A value greater than zero indicates that the first character that does not match has a greater value in str1 than in str2; And a value less than zero indicates the opposite.
